It’ll probably happen simultaneously. We don’t have the bandwidth for a whole lot of energy surplus. On top of that, they may be modeling a pull versus a push method of production, if you are familiar with that retail expression.

Thank god for SEMA getting legislation passed to allow niche manufacturers to build low quanity turn key cars. Get a new body 70's camaro and put in a nice motor and tune it for high mileage on a street tune while sporting a catalytic convertor...might actually be less environmental impact.
Waiting on better battery cell development etc, but this all should have happened 30yrs ago.

honestly, the worst part of ev stuff is the chargers.
starting to get asked to pre-wire remodels for ev chargers. nissan is in the front. audi, gm, and ford is drivers side front fender. tesla is rear drivers. so they say they want a ev charger in the garage. the next 2 questions are "do you pull into the garage, or back in? and, what brand?

It makes sense. Peak demand for the grid hits between 4pm-9pm when people are using AC while cooking, doing laundry and watching TV. The majority of EV charging happens during the day during working hours or after 9pm. There will be more peak demand as more EVs come online, but EVs are more likely to flatten the duck curve by utilizing solar during the day or during off-peak hours like during the middle of the night.
A Tesla Model 3 will charge at 30-47 mph depending on the model and amps to the level 2 charger, so this means the average person would charge for an hour with average daily use. Unless someone needs a full recharge, which is far from the daily average, there won’t be a lot of charging needed by the individual, which means the car can be programmed to charge itself during the day or during the middle of the night when costs are cheapest and demand is low. This already is the case.

Every charger I've seen has a long enough reach it doesn't matter which way you pull in your garage. Are you seeing it differently?

I think a lot of folks don't realize that even if you car is plugged in, you can program when it charges. Plug in when you get home, but tell the car not to charge until 1am until 6am.

Looks like the normal length for cables is 15 to 25 feet so unless you are planning on charging a 1972 Buick there should be loads to reach any car.

Convert this to an EV and it would power itself.
